James Bond Actor Sean Connery Dies at Age 90

Sir Thomas Sean Connery has died at the age of 90, according to his family. The Scottish actor was famed for his portrayal of James Bond, having originated the role of the British secret-agent 007 in ‘Dr. No’ in 1962. He went on to star in five subsequent James Bond films, ‘From Russia With Love’ (1963), ‘Goldfinger’ (1964), ‘Thunderball’ (1965), ‘You Only Live Twice’ (1967), and ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ (1971). Connery died at his home in the Bahamas.

We are devastated by the news of the passing of Sir Sean Connery. He was and shall always be remembered as the original James Bond whose indelible entrance into cinema history began when he announced those unforgettable words: “The name’s Bond… James Bond” — he revolutionised the world with his gritty and witty portrayal of the sexy and charismatic secret agent. He is undoubtedly largely responsible for the success of the film series and we shall be forever grateful to him.

Michael G. Wilson en Barbara Broccoli, producers

The actor was born to a working-class family in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1930. He became interested in acting in the 1950s after working backstage at a theater, and secured his first film role in 1957 in ‘No Road Back’. He was reluctant to star in the film adaptation of Ian Fleming’s James Bond series, but the movies proved to be one of the most iconic film franchises of all time.

When you think of Sean Connery, you automatically think of the most iconic movie car ever: the Aston Martin DB5 Touring. The DB5 was introduced in 1963 and made its star turn in Goldfinger the following year. Even though it ended its on-screen time with a crash, the DB5 forged a connection between Bond and Aston in the public consciousness. The car has appeared in six other 007 films since then.

After stepping away from the Bond series, Connery worked with directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Steven Spielberg. At the peak of his career in 1988, Connery won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in the movie ‘The Untouchables’ (1987). His repertoire also includes many other well-known films such as ‘Marnie’ (1964), ‘Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade’ (1989), ‘The Hunt for Red October’ (1990), ‘The Rock’ (1996) and ‘The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen’ (2003).

Later in his career he was offered the role of Gandalf in the famous trilogy ‘Lord Of The Rings’ (2001 – 2003), but he ignored this offer. He admitted in an interview that he did not understand the script. Nor would he return in the fourth ‘Indiana Jones’ movie of 2008.

He retired from acting in 2003, Connery enjoyed himself very much with recording the James Bond film in 2005 and said he would like to do it again, but it never happened again. There were also rumors about a role in ‘Skyfall’ (2012), but this role eventually went to Albert Finney. A longtime supporter of Scottish independence, Connery was knighted in 2000.

You are not alone

‘Mi hermano – My Brother’ tells the story of Alberto, a young Spanish gay man who lives in Berlin a very different life than the one he led in his Castilian town with his conservative family. But after a call, he must return there to face the tragedy and his own lies that he built to get away from his family.

I like to think that the book he wrote at the end for his brother is real, published and available to purchase. It would be a beautiful dedication to all those who experienced the same all over the world.

So so beautiful and touching and poignant and meaningful. A beautiful and much needed story about our youth! Brilliant….. he wrote an ending for his brother that the 15 year old should have had if it weren’t because of the horrible parents.

You are not alone!

Orpheus’ Song

Two men from Berlin, one straight (Enis), one gay (Philipp), become workout buddies at their local gym, each spotting the other. The two hunks quickly fall into an intense friendship which Enis’ girlfriend Katrina finds fascinating but non-threatening.

When Philipp wins a trip to Greece, he invites Enis and the two have a great time. But during a hike in the forest, they become lost and tempers flare, escalating to a violent scuffle. A mysterious young man, Hercules, happens upon them and leads them to a magical underground cave. During the night, fueled by forbidden fruit Hercules has warned them from eating, passion ignites between Enis and Philipp.

On the next day – and every day thereafter – nothing between the two will be like it was before. Tor Iben’s erotic film is a modern day variation on the Greek myth that will quickly have viewers falling under its sensual spell.

The movie is beautifully shot, the guys are charming, handsome and believable. What could have descended into porny cheese stays firmly on the side of a slowly simmering story of friendship turned into eye opening passion. The mixture is only odd in description, on screen, thanks to casting and director Tor Iben, it is touchingly well blended. 

Cast: Sascha Weingarten, Julien Lickert, Henry Morales, Kristina Kostiv, Murat Dikenci, Jasper Joseph, Wolfgang Reeb, Thomas Wiesenberbg.

Women in Motion and La Cinémathèque française team up for a retrospective of Jane Fonda

For the opening night of this retrospective at La Cinémathèque française on October 22 2018, Jane Fonda, first recipient of the Women in Motion Award in 2015, will discuss her life’s work as an actress, producer and engaged philanthropist with Costa-Gavras, President of La Cinémathèque française and Frédéric Bonnaud, its Head. This Talk will be followed by a screening of Klute by Alan J. Pakula (1971), a film that marked a major turning point in her career and in her life.

Jane Fonda is an icon with a very exceptional destiny. Since beginning in the 1960s, she has never stopped reinventing herself. Her unique journey is one of liberation. Her career as an actress, initially marked by the glamor of her first roles, took a decisive turn in 1971 on the set of Klute, a thriller and especially a sublime portrait of a woman. For this film, she exchanged her role as a sexy muse for one with a complex and independent character; the disillusioned call girl as strong as she is moving, far from being a caricature. From this role she drew the premises for her future commitments, and would go on to say that it is this role that inspired her first feminist ideals. Her performance in this film went on to earn her a Golden Globe® and her first Oscar®.

Combative and passionate, Jane Fonda gradually put together her commitment to peace and equality: as a citizen, she became a militant activist. A proud feminist, a symbol of modern and fulfilled femininity, Jane Fonda was the first personality to receive the Women in Motion prize awarded by Kering in partnership with the Cannes Film Festival in 2015.

After receiving the Prix Lumière in Lyon on October 19th, Jane Fonda will honor La Cinémathèque française with her presence during the opening night of her retrospective. Inaugurated by a Women in Motion Talk during which she will discuss with Frédéric Bonnaud and Costa-Gavras, the evening will continue with a screening of Klute.

You know, 73 percent of Americans think we’ve passed it, but we haven’t. We scold Iraq and Iran and Afghanistan for how they treat women, but we don’t even have an Equal Rights Amendment.

Jane Fonda

Fonda, who is a brand ambassador for L’Oréal Paris, is also campaigning to create more entertainment content for older women, such as her Netflix series ‘Grace and Frankie’, co-starring Lily Tomlin.

Until November 5, filmgoers will have the chance to discover a selection of films depicting the fascinating evolution of this extraordinary actress. The Cinémathèque Française will screen 24 of her movies, including ‘Julia’, ‘Joy House’, ‘Cat Ballou’, ‘They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?’ and ‘A Doll’s House’.

About Jane Fonda

Along with starring roles in dozens of highly acclaimed productions, Fonda also took on responsibilities as a film and television producer. In 2007, Fonda received an Honorary Palme d’Or from the Cannes Film Festival. In 2014, she received American Film Institute’s highest honor, the Life Achievement Award.

In addition to her tremendous success as a stage and screen actress, Fonda has long been known for activism and advocacy on environmental issues, peace, and gender equality. Since 1994, Fonda has been Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Population Fund. With much of her work devoted to the program she founded in 1995, the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power and Potential (G-CAPP). She is also on the board of a number of NGOs, among them the Women’s Media Center, which she co-founded in 2004, and the Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC).

Armie Hammer talks about that ‘Call Me By Your Name’ sequel… sorta

How much do I know and how much could I tell you are two very different things. I know a lot, but I can’t tell you anything. More than anything I trust the artistic direction to Luca and [novelist] André Aciman and to those guys who did such a good job handling it the first time around. The only thing I want to see is I want to see it happen. I want to do it again.

Actor Armie Hammer, on what he knows and doesn’t know about that upcoming ‘Call Me By Your Name sequel’ in the works.
